Setting Watch Conditions

Before you can set a watch condition, your program must be stopped under debug, and the expression or variable you want to watch must be in scope:

• To watch a global variable, you must ensure that the program in which the variable is defined is active before setting the watch condition.
• To watch a local variable, you must step into the procedure in which the variable is defined before setting the watch condition.

You can set a watch condition by using:

• F17 (Watch Variable) to set a watch condition for a variable on which the cursor is positioned.
• The WATCH debug command with or without its parameters.
